“So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find some one to worship.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“As surgeons keep their instruments and knives always at hand for cases requiring immediate treatment, so shouldst thou have thy thoughts ready to understand things divine and human, remembering in thy every act, even the smallest, how close is the bond that unites the two.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“If the human race is to reach its peak of development one day, it will be in a natural environment with plant food. As cannibalism and artificial civilization corrupt him and drag him to the abyss of nothingness. Unless a humane race and a non-native whose life is governed by the laws of nature succeed him, otherwise his race will be shamefully extinguished.”

Journals • Andre Gide“ "He seemed, unfortunately, to have no proper teeth - how was he, then, to grasp the key? - but the lack of teeth was, of course, made up for with a very strong jaw..."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka
